CVE-2019-9075

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions GNU Binutils version 2.32

Description The issue is a heap-based buffer overflow in the bfd archive 64 bit slurp armap function, located in archive64.c, which is part of the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library. This can be exploited by a remote attacker to impact the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information.

Recommendations For GNU Binutils version 2.32, consider disabling the bfd archive 64 bit slurp armap function as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to the archive64.c module to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
